I know its a bit of an old chestnut on this board, but what mpg will a COMPLETELY STANDARD 1995 import WRX saloon return? Book figure is 28mpg. Is this right? 300 of my 400 a week miles will be on an a-road

nelboy75

mine is a 94 import standard wrx saloon apart from filter and stainless.driving normal it ll do roughly 115 miles to 20 quid.(cars covered 130kms.)
obviously going downwards if i give it some stick

hadyn

Thats about 24mpg mate

hadyn

Is 28mpg way off, if the car is driven mainly off boost on a roads?

peachy wrx

not much point in buying a scooby if your gonna drive it like that mate!

hadyn

Sounds crazy but im looking at a scoob as a weekly 400 mile commuter with a petrol budget of about £60 tops.

Im considering audi a4/a6s bmw 3 series, but the germans dont seem to make reliable cars like they used to....

£10 will do me about 40 miles at most

you'll find 400 miles is about a tank and a half.. with petrol prices as thay are that's 75 quid plus.... mine does about 250 on a tank..

hadyn

Christ, my old twin turbo supra used to return about 17mpg

hadyn

how many litres to fill a tank?

I get 150 miles to a tank of optimax and OB, but hey all of those 150 miles are full of smiles .

That seems a bit low?

Eckmcmann

but is yours a standard wrx like the guys asking

hadyn

Does anyone still have the stock airbox and stock exhaust on to give me a totally standard MPG figure?

[Davey]

If you've got to ask about the MPG then you cant afford to run one! lol

hadyn

lol, that phrase has been used many a time on this board judging by my search results!!

[Davey]

Seriously though, if your more interested in getting a decent mileage I'd look else where, not only will it cost you a fortune in fuel, its going to cost a fortune in maintainence costs if your doing high mileage.

hadyn

Ive run a 280bhp S14 200SX and recently a twin turbo Supra, so surely ownership costs cant be more than that?

jonnyh

I ran a 93 WRX for a while (untill the big-end failed )

I got about 27mpg. Driving a Ford Puma in the same way (obvioulsy slower though) I got 45mpg on the same route.
Don't forget to run it on super though...in any case I don't think you should expect the reliability to be better than anything else.

I get around 25-30 depending on how much I use boost. Most of the week its pootly round town, then opened up for an hour or so twice week.

No chance - not on an import. You'll be looking at 300 miles coming in at an easy 50 quid a time.

PhilA

I know mine's not an import but:
UK Turbo with a decat currently running 243 BHP, on Optimax I get 22 MPG so 400 miles per week is £75/£80.
Tank only does 250 miles so 2 stops per week is necessary.

Stockie12

Mines a uk97 car which is standard except very slightly higher boost level (1.05 bar) and on my comute back and for to work 25miles each way I get approx 27mpg. Mostly sensible driving with a few quick blasts each way.

300miles on a tank (As low as I dare go) approx 50ltrs. I know the tank holds 60 but after 300 miles it looks as if I'm on fumes and I don't fancy walking!
